   Ya, everyone had their names.   
      
   Commode-door.  Chicken-lips.   
      
   Rotten Apple.  Crab Apple.   
      
   I'm sure I can remember more if I think hard enough.   
      
   BTW: I have a TRS-80 Model I Level I with 4K of RAM.  I haven't done anything   
   to it and it still fires up just fine.  I also have a Model I Level II that I   
   actually use.  Other than reflowing old solder connections, it worked just fine   
   too.   
      
   The TRS-80 Model I was a collection of compromises.  It sold WAYYY better than   
   anyone expected.  And Radio Shack tried their best to keep their customers   
   happy.   
      
   Remember that back in the 1970's and early 80's, Radio Shack was the #1 home   
   computer seller.
